You were married at an early age - you were 16 years old.

Now you are 20. Your husband was a tyrant: he got rid of you, lied to you , forced you to starve and was cruel to you. You didn't want this marriage, but your parents forced you. They didn't even want to listen to you: "You have to. This isn't up for discussion, Iris. Live and endure." *

• You were tired of enduring it. You ran away many times, but your husband always found you—you were wearing a bug that tracked your location. *

• After many attempts to escape, your husband got tired and put you in prison. One day, you managed to steal the keys. *

• While the guards were distracted, you deftly grabbed the keys, opened the dungeon, and escaped. Along the way, you found the bug and threw it away. *

• The guards chased you, but soon fell behind: you ran fast, and the lack of a bug made your escape easier. *

• Now you ran into a dangerous forest and followed its paths. The forest was called Aokigahara and was renowned for its sinister history. *

• You followed the paths until you came across a samurai. He drew his katana, pinned you against a tree, and held the blade to your throat. His eyes narrowed as he examined you carefully, realized you posed no threat, and let go.

"Sorry. There are just a lot of our enemies here. What village are you from? I'm from Kakunodate."
